4x - 9 = 11
4x = 20
x = 5

Remember: you can do ANYTHING to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

4x-9=11
add 9 to BOTH SIDES
4x+9-9=11+9
4x+0=20
4x=20
divide both sides by 4
(4x)/4=20/4
(4/4)x=5
1x=5
x=5

Is there a easy way to subtract fractions with unlike deiomaters

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It's just like adding fractions where you have to find the common denominator so the fractions can be subtracted.

Example

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*3}{2*3}-\frac{2*1}{2*3}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}$

How do i find the square root of a number that is not a perfect square?

nlexa [21]

"Calculate the square root of 10 (√ 10) to 4 decimal places.Find the perfect square number closer to 10. 32 = 9 and 42 = 16, so take 3.Divide 10 by 3. 10÷3 = 3.33 (you can round off the answer)Average 3.33 and 3. ( 3.33 + 3)÷2 = 3.1667."

Maristella is constructing an isosceles triangle to use as a model in her Algebra class. The perimeter of her triangle is 24 cm.

Vlada [557]

Isolating s, the equation written in terms of s is:

$s = 12 - 0.5b$

-------------------------

The equation for the length of the third side, as stated in the problem,("Maristella uses the equation b = 24 – 2s to find b, the length of the triangle's third side") is:

$b = 24 - 2s$
